Argumentative Essay

In our every day there are more and more individuals using technology and laptops in restaurants, schools, airport lounges, coffee shops, and bookstores. Many companies will offer a free internet connection for their customers, I feel this may be a ploy to get them to stay at establishments longer or lure them into the establishment. On one side laptops and technology are very important tools that are used currently in schools daily, on the other people feel they are not a good source of education for students. There are however advantages to using technology in schools, but some will argue that using laptops can be a distraction and also be considered a learning a barrier in the classroom. Some individuals believe that our use of laptops and technology in the class should be banned, while others feel it enhances the learning experience and can potentially help students that may have an impairment by allowing learning disabilities students the extra aide that technology offers. Many feel using laptops and technology opens doors to education that lead to a better experience.
In the beginning, students that used laptops felt they had a higher level of motivation and in terms of the amount of homework received felt that the laptops had also improved the students learning experience The author does not clearly state a position to whether or not technology is beneficial for students. I believe that the amount of biased thoughts put into the essay would put the author in a position to explain both sides and not lean towards one person’s thoughts. I feel that the perspective the author is explaining in the essay is geared towards the idea of technology being in the class room. I don’t feel the author
